Abstract [sv]

Denna uppsats jämför årsredovisningar från ett svenskt och bulgariskt börsnoterat bolag och undersöker om det finns några skillnader och likheter knutna till upprättandet av dem. Primärt ligger fokus på hur redovisningsprinciperna har förändrats och hur dessa implementerats av företagen. Uppsatsen har som syfte att besvara frågeställningen som handlar om likheter och skillnader i årsredovisningar mellan börsnoterade bolag som upprättar sina årsredovisningar i enlighet med IFRS. Uppsatsen har använt en metod som utgår från dokumentgranskning i enlighet med CONI-modellen. De två företagen som använts i uppsatsen är verksamma inom byggvarubranschen. Data består av årsredovisningar från Toplivo AB samt Byggmax AB för åren 2011, 2016 samt 2021. 

Likheterna i årsredovisningarna går att förklaras med hjälp av den tvingande och normativa isomorfismen samt formella enforcementmekanismer inom EU. Skillnaderna kan inte förklaras utifrån målkonflikter inom finansiell rapportering, nationsspecifika miljöer, eller informella enforcementmekanismer. Inga bevis går heller att identifiera om att tolkningen och presentationen av IFRS standarder är annorlunda. Skillnaden i att Toplivo inte upplyser om goodwill går att förklaras med att det inte finns några sådana poster eftersom de under åren hunnit skrivas av i sin helhet.

Abstract [en]

This essay compares annual reports from a Swedish and a Bulgarian listed company and examines whether there are any differences and similarities linked to their preparation. The objective is primarily on how the accounting principles have changed and how these have been implemented by the companies. The purpose of this essay is to answer the question that deals with similarities and differences in annual reports between listed companies that prepare their annual reports in accordance with IFRS. The study has used a method based on document analysis in accordance with the CONI-model. The two companies used in this essay are active in the hardware supply chain. The data consists of annual reports from Toplivo AB and Byggmax AB for the years 2011, 2016 and 2021. 

The similarities in the annual reports can be explained by the mandatory and normative isomorphism and by formal enforcementmechanisms within the EU. The differences cannot be explained based on the goal conflicts within financial reporting, nation-specific environments, or informal enforcementmechanisms. Nor can any evidence be identified stating the differences of interpretation and presentation of IFRS standards between the companies. The difference in that Toplivo does not disclose goodwill can be explained by the fact that there are no such items because they have been written off in their entirety over the years.
